HOW WAS KEATON NOT NOMINATED?

For those who have stated that Keaton should have been nominated for both Annie Hall and LFMG, Academy rules do not allow two acting nominations in the same category in the same year, so it had to be Annie Hall OR LFMG.

Annie Hall is clearly the reason; it's her signature role. If Annie Hall and Mr. Goodbar hadn't been released the same year, she might have gotten the nod for Mr. Goodbar even though the film itself is an overcooked mess. There's no sense of time or place, many of the exteriors look like a studio backlot. It's chronology is hard to follow with flashbacks interrupting flashbacks and dreams and fantasies mixed with dull and unnecessary scenes showing Teresa Dunn as a loving teacher to deaf children. Characters are always rushing in and out of the frame and Richard Kiley, Richard Gere and Tuesday Weld overact with wild abandonment. Keaton keeps her head above water but can't make sense of the character.
